Dolphin Bubbles

This post written by Kathleen Zak

My two children, Mikey (4) and Heather (6), thoroughly enjoyed the experience of meeting the dolphins at Sea World. Heather was not interested in touching the little fish at all, so she wanted nothing to do with actually feeding them, but she really liked petting the dolphins as they approached me for a tasty treat. My son, on the other hand, had no problems handling the fish and giving them to the dolphins. It was amazing how gentle these remarkable animals were as they took food from the children. The kids were also surprised how incredibly smooth their skin is and how much they seemed to take pleasure in being touched.

I got such joy out of seeing the delight in my children’s eyes as they had this memorable opportunity of being up close and personal with some of the world’s most incredible creatures. I know they really enjoyed it too because they have talked about it frequently since then and look forward to going again. They enjoyed everything about that day in the park, but the dolphin experience clearly stands out as a highlight of the day. I found out from Heather’s teacher the following week that she had shared the experience with her and some classmates upon asking the children what they did over the weekend. Her teacher indicated the excitement she gathered from Heather’s explanation of the event. They had a great time, and so did I!
